How would Mexico have paid for the wall?

Governments have myriad methods of extracting money from others such as slight increases in tariffs and entrance fees for rail and road commerce heading north. I'm sure there's plenty of other ways to achieve it. It doesn't have to a specific 'Border Wall Fee', just income via various means to offset the cost of the wall.

If you charge a tariff, you are making the American consumer pay for the wall.  Not Mexico.   

To me, and to any reasonable person, "Mexico will pay for the wall" means the Mexican government will pay the cost of the wall.  There was no chance of that happening.
